These past couple of weeks, I have been busy collecting stuff that Chani has outgrown. All her old outfits that I originally got from a consignment, bottles and misc things of which she has no use anymore. I've organized it, tagged it, and counted it.In Georgia, as I'm sure in a few other states, they have consignment sales twice a year. They are different from the stores that are permanantly there. The one I signed up for is for the Fall/Winter season and it's one of the largest sales in Georgia with over 500 sellers. I signed up early and in order to guarantee a seller's spot, you needed to volunteer to work a four hour shift, helping with the sale. Today was my day to work, organizing the stuff. I got up and headed over to the fairgrounds. They have two large buildings and a huge tent outside. One building was for clothes on hangers, the other one is for small toys and other stuff. All the big stuff was outside in the tent. I was assigned linens so once the sellers dropped off their stuff into large bins, the volunteers sorted them down further. I was on my feet the entire time but it went so fast and it was really a lot of fun. The other perk about volunteering is that you get to go to the presale before the general public. So, Wednesday afternoon, I'll be heading over there once again to shop early. (The sale doesn't start until Thursday.) I've only been to one other presale and loved it. You get the first shot at the stuff. I am really excited to go. Then, early Saturday evening, after Briana's birthday party, I get to go back the final time, pick up my check and anything that I didn't mark "donate". I just hope everything sales and I make lots of money!!

About Me

We adopted our little girl on December 10, 2007. Her name is pronounced "Chain e".
Adopting her has by far been the best thing that we have ever done. She is just amazing.
One of the things that I did while waiting was to start making bows and I've been perfecting them ever since.
